I forget who it was that surface mounted the electronic speed controller into their fiberglass chassis... mid-to-late 80's on-road car... I'm terrible with names. :oops:
I remember an on road chassis but can't find the info. Some like the bolink quick change plate used large traces for the battery connection. Then there is this guy, I don't know much of the story but it's pretty cool!

That’s a cool implementation. If it wasn’t for the front kickup you could build a whole rc10 this way.

I though it was a small amount like 3-5 degrees?
